Each of these reference/statement pieces retail for ~$9800.00 US dollars, and it's my understanding that after the first of the year these prices will increase by ~$1000.00. Thus, if you become seriously interested in purchasing the P-8 preamplifier and W-8 power amplifier, I would urge you to place your order before the end of 2005.

Addendum: If you would like to receive firsthand experience as to how Simaudio's new Evolution Series performs with Wilson Audio speakers, you may want to contact Goodwin's High End (http://www.goodwinshighend.com/) in the Boston area, as they are dealers for both Simaudio and Wilson Audio.
